PLEASE DO NOT GIFT ME BADGES
Tumblr is getting rid of avatars and no longer showing where a reblog comes from in post headers to “afford more room for badges.”
I always felt kinda bad when I was gifted badges and then didn’t use them, cuz people spent actual money on them. So I’m asking, please do not gift me badges, or any other tumblr merch for that matter.
I threw them a bone last year and paid for the ad-free because the ads and blazed softcore porn on the app were infuriating, but I’m canceling it. They’re not getting anything from me anymore. I’ll have to switch back to using the Firefox mobile browser. Hopefully the new dash un-fuckers that are going around will work on mobile.

What if we read the story of Adam and Eve with different eyes?
What if it isn't an account of punishment for one monumental mistake, but a fable-like wisdom story about humans graduating, evolving from the relatively uncomplicated existence of animal innocence to the messy experience of moral responsibility?
What if Adam and Eve didn't fall?
What if they were pushed?
Hard work, sexual intimacy, parenthood, a sense of mortality, the knowledge of good and evil - these are the sort of things that make humans different to other creatures in a positive way. They present challenges and demands, and bring anxieties, but they are also the ultimate source of imagination, creativity, rewarding struggle and achievement.
In order for humans to be human, the fruit had to be eaten.
Thus the story of Eden is not about paradise lost, but about paradise outgrown.
—Philip Pullman, The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials #3) + Dave Tomlinson, The Bad Christian's Manifesto: Reinventing God

Had to create a cento, or a poem made of lines from other poems. This is what I made. There's a lot of tabbing so I reflected this in the alt text by adding [tab] for each tab of spacing. Please let me know if there's a better way to reflect the spacing in the alt text. Sources listed under the cut
